Another key design feature is the split-level wheel house on the top deck, which grants advantageous panoramic lines of sight for the captain. Aft of the wheelhouse is a jacuzzi surrounded by tan-coloured sunpads to create a hub of sociability for guests. On the lower deck, a beach club with spa, gym, sauna and large swim platform offer more guest areas to enjoy. Formal dining is in the sky lounge, al fresco dining on the main deck aft, while private banquet seating forward of the master suite creates a convivial space for togetherness. Furthermore, the owner’s selected cruising grounds of Brazil, the Caribbean and Med are well-served by Hygge’s semi-displacement hull, which is reminiscent of a fast naval war frigate. It delivers a top speed of 23 knots, and long cruising speeds of 18 knots. “Hygge is built with a full-aluminium hull that allows for unmatched internal volume, lightness and autonomy,” says Damien Chaves, director of engineering at MCP Yachts. “She is a 40m superyacht that offers the comfort of a 50m, yet with a draft and lightness that allows her owner a more dynamic, versatile and sustainable range for global exploration.” |
